 
Tours
South African Motorcycle Tours offers a range of tours well suited to the local climate, road conditions and easy to fit into your holiday itinerary.
One, two or seven day tours from Cape Town can be arranged with or without a guide on a bike. While we recommend particularly scenic and interesting destinations for these tours, you are entirely at liberty to request your own routes. These shorter trips are particularly attractive to people on holiday in Cape Town who do not wish to spend their entire time on a motorcycle. Our twelve day tour will take you through some of the most spectacular country in South Africa.
All the bikes are excellently maintained BMW's F650GS, F800GS, Gs1150 and Gs1200
"We have been operating motorcycle tours from Cape Town for 14 years"
The minimum age of 28 applies to all motorcycle rentals. Drivers must have full motorcycle license.
